Redneck comedian Larry the Cable Guy (co-star of Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie) kicks off his live performance on Git-R-Done with one of the great questions of the modern age: "Ever have an orgasm so strong you hit yo... more &raquour head on the back of the tub?" (He expresses gratitude that the VCR didn't fall into the water.) A string of gay-bashing and other intemperate quips quickly follows, but Larry's gross jokes are a part of an intentionally foolish persona. When he cracks wise about lesbian rocker Melissa Etheridge's genitals, the crowd gasps, and Larry's oversized rube becomes the punch line. Larry's no less hard on his family, commenting on an obese sister who claims to have a thyroid problem: "It's not a thyroid problem, it's a 7-11 problem." On his brief career as an evangelist: "I was $150 short of bringing a stripper to the Lord." This is hick humor that sometimes gets under one's skin. --Tom Keogh&laquo less

Movie Reviews

Rude & crude...and hilarious !

"If you're a wuss and get easily offended, stay away from this DVD, but if you're not a politically correct girley man as my California Governor Ahnold would say (and that applies to both sexes), you'll laugh until you cry. Larry the Cable Guy is the redneck Don Rickles, and is an equal opportunity insulter. His is also some of the most inventive stand-up comedy I've heard. I normally won't tolerate bad language and bathroom humor, because it is usually said as the main reason to make one laugh, for some sort of "shock value"; Larry the Cable Guy says gross toilet humor as part of the story, and it's the story that's funny, not just the way it's said.

Some stories are outrageous, but there are many things out of everyday life...Larry ponders whether it's "Pet Smart" or Pets Mart" (I've often had the same thing run through my head) and in telling us of Rosie O'Donnell's confrontation with NRA member Tom Selleck, he says something I really like: "if guns kill people, I can blame misspelled words on my pencil".

The show, which was filmed at The State Theatre in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on October 30th, 2003, is 66 minutes long, and the DVD extras include a "gallery", and a segment that is about 4 minutes long of "Bathroom Humor", actually filmed in a public restroom, with Larry in a stall.The show takes a dip in the middle when he's talking about edible britches, but picks up again and Bubli Bubli's letter is a riot, and the Christmas song finale priceless. The last one had me roaring. Someday Larry the Cable Guy is going to be sued. Not for insulting someone with a defect, but for making someone choke to death with laughter. Git-R-Done Larry !"

Very Funny DVD

"I just bought this dvd earlier today. Well worth the price, He used some of the same jokes as on the Blue Collar Movie, still great. This is for any fan of Larry The Cable Guy and or any fan of stand up. GIT -R- DONE!!!"

Not bad for redneck humor

"I met Larry at the show where "Git R Done" was taped. Nice guy. His humor is straight from redneck country. If you don't like that sort of humor, you shouldn't expect much here.

After I adjusted to his humor, I found him funny. Very funny. Toilet humor, but funny. Lots of jokes about reproductive type stuff, or bathroom activities.

Would I recommend this for my 14 year old daughter? Too late. She enjoys it, even if I would have prefered to shield her from that sort of "entertainment".

Fun is poked at many groups that are "off limits" these days. It's old fashioned humor, picking on people based on stereotypes. No one is off limits for Larry. It's refreshing, hearing truly funny stuff without worrying about political correctness. Don't like it? Don't watch it. It's that simple.

Overall, this is a fun show."

GIT R DONE!

"Hilarious!! I have read the poor reviews and people should realize that sometimes comedy adds humor to things that might be considered "serious" by some. I will not recommend this to the weak or ultra-sensitive although he is not as vulgar as Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy... or the Queens of Comedy for that matter. Great comedian and well worth having if you love stand-up or If you've ever laughed at a redneck joke... i.e. Jeff Foxworthy. He's "funnier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls"."

This Guy is Really Funny

"It enjoyed this show very much and even had a couple of laugh out loud moments. Even some slapping hand on upper thigh while (still) laughing out loud , moments. I mention this as I was watching the DVD on my own (when one tends to be more inhibited as when watching a comedy or stand-up show with a group of people). Mr CableGuy must be quite an intelligent "fella" to be able to come up with some of his very funny jokes, and maybe his redneck persona is his best joke of all. If you enjoy comedy, have a good sense of humour and like stand-up shows on DVD, you will love this one. Git-R-Watching."
